Yolky Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have a tarpaulin question. I have seen some on ebay that have some sort of silver metalic reflective material one side and green the other. Could anyone tell me what the silver side is for please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Presumably to reflect sunlight from whateer you're covering. Or maybe just to look pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 LOL I am glad that I am not the only one who isn't sure. I am wondering if, like Helly Welly says, it reflects the light and is really good at keeping whatever is under it cool. If this is so this will be perfect for the guineas because they really can't stand the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I would say you are correct, silver side outwards in summer to keep things cool and maybe inwards in winter to reflect heat back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ohhhh I hadn't thought about the doing it the other way round thing to keep heat in. Perfect, that would be fab for the guineas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
